THE SECRET LIFE OF THE MOBILE PHONE

A talk by Debi Knight, a keen iPhoneographer.  Quite simply iPhoneography is the name given to the style of photography taken with the iPhone and processed within the phone using only applications (Apps) available.

 This is essentially the basic outline of iPhoneography. Yet it means so much more than a few words. It is a way of expressing yourself photographically.  A good place to start if you want to learn more about this genre is a little black book called ‘the Art of iPhoneography’ http://www.artofiphoneography.com/

 The images in the first part of this talk are mainly images taken at the beginning of my journey. When I was first experimenting with Apps and styles.

 Don’t ditch the DSLR just yet! iPhones (or any other camera phone) do not have all the capabilities of a DSLR.

 The iPhone does however have Apps. These wonderful little computer programmes allow us to relive those film days in our phone or let our imaginations run wild.

 A different style lens, film and even camera style can be chosen to suit mood or scene.  Who had an Instamatic camera? 126 or 110? Who has used single use cameras, on holiday maybe?

 The limitations of the iPhone (and any mobile phone camera) actually takes you back to those days.

 You have to think about the lighting composition more when using a phone – not a lot of margin for error.

 Ironically the simplicity of the camera within a mobile phone releases the photographer’s creativity.  Firstly the camera on any phone has a small sensor so image resolution suffers – though I have printed A3 size images and entered one into club competition. It was not a ‘detail’ critical image which helped.

 The idea of tonight is to show that a phone camera can be used to capture a moment in time. Or create something unique and funky.

 The phone is for fun and practice as well as creative photography. It challenges the user to create something despite the limitations. DSLR iPhone © Kerniggit 2011 © Kerniggit 2011

Both straight shots out of the camera taken using iPhone Apps  Hipstamatic, Instagram, Retrocam, Camera+ and many others allow the iPhoneographer to choose a variety of digitally programmed films and lenses giving a different feel to any image.

 These Apps revel in the iPhones limitations and simply say ‘lets see what we can do then’

 They create an atmosphere without the need for manipulation if you don’t want to use manipulation. © Kerniggit 2011

Windermere – taken with Pinhole App Windermere – taken with Retro Camera Pinhole setting

Some Apps are specifically Pinhole others have the option as part of the camera style. You can choose between colour and B&W  The iPhone can take images in B&W using either designated Apps such as Vintage B&W

 Or can convert in post processing.

 Film Noir and Dramatic B&W are 2 Apps that give the user a great degree of control over the conversion. Film Noir Dramatic B&W

 These can be basics such as crop, contrast and borders. To levels, layers, masks and even watermarking.

 Some Apps even allow you to customize your straight shot into one that imitates film so you can literally step back in time and keep the original shot (at highest res) for projection later. BEFORE AFTER

Simple and basic manipulation in seconds that improves any image. © Kerniggit 2011

Taken using Hipstamatic. Then manipulated in Photoforge 2 © Kerniggit 2011

Taken using standard iPhone camera then manipulated in PhotoForge2  Mobile Monet transforms any image into a B&W sketch then the user repaints as much or as little colour as required.

 A simple swipe of the finger is all that is required.

 The more times you swipe the more intense the colour becomes.

 You can even determine how ‘sketchy’ you want the final image

The Redbeck © Kerniggit 2011 © Kerniggit 2011  There are a variety of Apps that create Panoramas. My favourite is Auto-stitch.

 Let us take a brief look at some of the manipulation Apps that I use.

They create a whole new feel to an image, or simply add a little ‘umph’.

 Some can change the concept of the image by adding textures, layers, text and recreating genres.

Simple Manipulation

 This is Murphy, a true scardicat, he runs away from everyone and most things.

 Not a great shot at all! © Kerniggit 2011

Simple Manipulation

 The Grungetastic App created this image in seconds, and salvaged a very poor shot into something a bit different.

The user chooses the colours of the overlay and the strength of those colours. As well © Kerniggit 2011 as choosing the ‘style’ © Kerniggit 2011 Manipulation Apps

 The apps are not just to help salvage a poor image or an image that is not quite sharp.

They are there to experiment with, let your imagination run wild.

Or to just create something fun with.

Creation is just a few swipes of your finger away.

 A fun little App that creates an image in a comic/Newspaper type style

Photoshop for iPhone is FREE!!!! This is one of the effects available, others include B&W and Vibrant. There is very little manipulation available in iPhone Photoshop but still a very good basic editor. Some editing suites have the capability of creating Layers, Masks, filters and Borders for the images as well as altering Levels, contrast, crop etc. My favourites are PhotoGene, Iris Suite and Photoforge2. Just trying out Filterstorm.

 A simple but effective App to use is Colour Splash. It looks complex but is not.

 It de-saturates any image and allows you to repaint in the colour, like Mobile Monet. The more you paint (finger swipe) the more saturated the area becomes.

 In this case I also used Photoshop for iPhone to sharpen add contrast and a vignette Complex Manipulation

© Kerniggit 2011 The settings on an iPhone are auto, therefore the Photographer has absolutely no control over Aperture, shutter speed or ISO. Other phones allow the photographer to change the settings – my old Samsung was a fantastic camera for controlling settings.

Apps such as 100 Cameras in 1, Mill Colour, PhotoForge2 and Camera+ allow the photographer to process an image in a particular style (other Apps exist these are just ones I have used and still use in most cases) There are Apps than can simulate slow shutter speeds – Slowshutter.

Even Apps that can create a multi shot in one i.e. Track a Skater as he does his tricks and put into one image - Nabit.

Filters can be applied digitally with most editing suites

Lenses can be purchased to fix to the phone itself (the Gel one I have does not work too good)

Next are some Examples of Depth of Field and ways in which to use or recreate it. Camera+, the standard camera and Instagram all allow the photographer to choose the area of Focus so true DoF is achievable if the camera chooses the appropriate Appeture.

One of Camera+ filter options to recreate (DoF) but there is no control over the filter.

Tilt and Shift Generator App allows you to create the illusion of DOF in either straight lines (can be set a diagonals) or as a radiating circle (as does the newly updated Instagram App) both are more accurate than the Camera+ filter option.

Tilt and Shift Generator Camera + (Depth Of Field filter Option)  The iPhone has HDR Apps which opens up even more possibilities for the creative photographer.

Some Apps create HDR out of more than one image (tripod is handy at this point)

Others create the effect of HDR from 1 image and then allow the user more control. © Kerniggit 2011

Windermere at Dawn Chatsworth Dining Room True HDR on iPhone takes up to 3 images then merges them © Kerniggit 2011

One image is converted in SimplyHDR and then fine tuned like Photomatix © Kerniggit 2011

One image is converted in SimplyHDR and then fine tuned like Photomatix  Photography is all about capturing a moment in time. Think of a Natural History Photographer sitting in a field waiting for ‘that moment’. The principle is true in all areas of Photography

 The iPhone can take a series of images in a sequence over a predetermined time and create a time lapse film from those images, examples to follow.

 Some of the programmes allow the addition of music to the time lapse films, as long as the track is on your iPhone.

Some Apps simulate the Super8 films with a variety of filters, film styles and sound. Even the sound of the projector – Super8, iSuper8, 8mm & Film Director.

Stop animation is also possible with the iPhone. On the night time lapse films were shown which are not available on the PDF format.  AV ‘s can be created entirely in the iPhone but with little creative control. You choose the music, the images and the sequence the images are displayed in. But you have no control over how long, what effects or which part of the music track is used, not on the free version anyway of Animoto.

 Collages are also possible with the iPhone. A great way to remind you of a day out, an individual or a particular subject matter.

 You can post directly onto websites or simple download them onto your computer and treat them like your other images. Collage memories.

 A variety of Apps allow images to be showcased as a collage.

Created in Collage Creator Collage memories. A simple way to keep images from a day trip in one place

Created in Photo Wall Collage memories. Or cherished memories of a loved one (being a bit daft!)

Created in Photo Wall  There are various Apps that allow the photographer to download images instantly onto the Web from the App themselves.

 Instagram and Hipstamatic are such Apps.

 Flickr, Tumblr and Twitter also support many of the iPhone Apps. Others have their own Apps like Posterous

 The principles of photography remain the same whether you use the most recent big name DSLR or a basic ‘Point & Shoot’

 The mobile phone can be used to capture moments on a family outing when the DSLR is not practical or as an aid memoir for a location you may wish to return to later.

 Just remember the basic principles and take a shot, you might be surprised.

 Be warned though it becomes addictive!

Images from the new wave of iPhoneographers

Images from club members

Useful Websites Use any phone with a camera to ‘Capture the Moment’ if you have access to Apps then use them if you want to. Apps are not compulsory and neither is an iPhone for this quest.

Take inspiration from the images you are about to see, go explore past photographic masters as well as the New wave of iPhoneographers.

Let your imagination take you to places your DSLR is unable to do.  Express yourself with your phone as you see fit. If you want to make dream like images, storyboard collages, composite images, an AV presentation or just straight shots then go and Capture the Moment.

Send your images to me via email or on a disc by October 24th 2011.

No limit on how many images or styles that you wish to use or explore.

There are only 2 rules:

1. Images have to be taken with a camera Phone (any make) just tell me which one i.e. iPhone, Samsung, Nokia, Blackberry etc when you hand in the images.

2. Any manipulation has to be done within the phone – No desktop manipulation allowed other than to format the image onto the entry disc or email.  The following slides showcase some past masters of Photography, using equipment that in today's terms was very limited.

I see the iPhone as standing at the beginning of a new age in Photography, it is very limited but can pack a punch.

One of my Mottos for life is ‘to understand our History prepares us for the future’. So go back look at what the early photographers were inspired by and remember the equipment they used and the conditions they worked in. Their images stand the test of time despite the limitations of technology in todays terms. There will also be a variety of slides from iPhoneographers that contribute to Blogs, Flickr, Tumblr, Posterous and even write books about iPhoneography. These will range from straight shots to heavily manipulated ones.

Also you will see images from WCC Members who already use their iPhone to create images and express themselves.

Some more of my more recent images so you can compare my early images to my recent ones.

Quite simply one of my favourite shots ever taken. If you only remember one image from tonight let it be this next slide as it describes the Quest in one image.

Cartier-Bresson was one of the founder members of Magnum Photos. For more information on Magnum Photos and the work still done by the Magnum Photographers please visit. http://agency.magnumphotos.com/about/history

On the night I showed the image taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson Behind Saint-Lazare station, Paris, 1932 © Henri Cartier-Bresson. The image was used with kind permission from Foundation HCB (Henri Cartier-Bresson foundation).

To see this image please follow the below link as this image explains the quest entirely. Whilst visiting the HCB site please take the time to learn about the man as well. http://www.henricartierbresson.org/hcb/home_en. htm Another great example of capturing the moment, Hine photographed working people within their environment. As well as raising awareness of poverty and the injuries many working people suffered.

The following image also conveys loneliness, courage and a head for heights! If you know the tale of Icarus (the title of the piece) then you know that he fell to his death after his wings were burned for travelling too close to the sun.

To get the following image Hine will have been on a similarly precarious perch or dangling from a basket on the outside of the Empire State Building. H&S?

Hine is in my top 10 of Great Photographers.

There are more images by Lewis Hine at www.masters-of- photography.com

© The Estate of Lewis Hine Icarus atop Empire State Building New York, 1931 image used from masters of photography website www.masters-of-photography.com In his series ‘Paris By Night’ Brassai captured many moments of French life people and scenery were included in his work.

Brassai used whatever light was available to him to create his night time images.

Some images contain the same people and others contain no people just the shape of the streets, mist or car lights.

Again one of my favourite ever photographs. Brassai did wonders with the ‘basic’ equipment he had and the light available to him on this series.

More images from Brassai are available at www.masters-of- photography.com

 Paul Strand documented life in New York as well as the ‘white Picket Fence’ images of America you may be familiar with.

He also captured machinery and its workings.

More images from Paul Strand are available at www.masters-of- photography.com

Paul Strand Fifth Avenue New York 1915 image used from Masters of Photography website www.masters-of-photography.com

 Ansel Adams is famous for his stunning Landscapes and his ability to capture a full tonal range in his images.

He was one of members of the group of friends who formed ‘F/64’ – other members in this group were Imogen Cunningham, John Paul Edwards, Sonya Noskowiak, Henry Swift, Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston. The group showed only images of ‘Pure Photography’

The following image is still capturing a moment in time. It is capturing the moment in time that the clouds formed against a backdrop of natural beauty. ‘Capturing The Moment’ does not have to be the sole domain of the street or humans.

More images from Ansel Adams are available at www.masters-of- photography.com

Ansel Adams Minarets, Evening Clouds, California c. 1937 ©The Trustees of the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust. Image used from Masters of Photography website www.masters-of- photography.com Fox Talbot really was a Pioneer of Photography as we recognise photography today.

His system of producing negatives allowed for mass production of images compared to the French technique devised by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre and known as Daguerreotype.

More images from Fox Talbot are available at www.masters-of-photography.com

William Henry Fox Talbot , The Open Door Plate VI, "The Pencil of Nature“ c.1844. Image used from Master of Photography website www.masters-of- photography.com  The following slides are images taken by both current iPhoneographers and club members who enjoy the freedom and creativity the iPhone gives the photographer.  No iPhone? Other phones do not have the sheer abundance of Apps the iPhone does but they can still create stunning images, often with better resolution.  Android capable phones are gaining more Apps daily but the Blackberry does lag behind and the cost of the Blackberry Apps seems expensive compared to both iPhone and Android.

Dixon Hamby found the iPhone after an illness made it painful and difficult for him to hold his SLR. Something I can relate to.

The iPhone has enabled Dixon to continue with his creative work. He describes himself on his website www.dixonhamby.com/ as an image maker and Twitter consultant.

From his website you can find links to his books, posters, images and other accounts like Twitter where you can ‘follow’ him.

Jesse in his own Words :

The iPhone (and any camera for that matter) is simply a box with a hole that lets in light. Its up to the artist to fill that box with their ideas and dreams.

© Jesse Wright New York, NY Allan helped me at the beginning of my journey as he was embarking on a journey himself. He was reviewing 100 photography Apps for the iPhone and published them daily on Tumblr.

Many of the Apps I use today are because of Allan and his ‘leg’ work (saving me time and money!) Tumblr is a great way to learn of Apps and see others images.

Allan has also produced a book entitled ‘Create Great iPhone Photos’ more info on his website http://www.allanhoffman.com/

Images used with kind permission from Allan Hoffman more images and other links for Allan can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/allanhoffman/ As a long-time contributor to Flickr I have encountered some amazing photographers and groups both for DSLR and iPhone.

The following images are a selection of photographers that I have found and been inspired by on Flickr. Some have written their own experiences about why they use the iPhone.

There are other sites that iPhoneographers share images and experiences on. Tumblr, Posterous, Intagram and Twitter are all great places to seek inspiration from The Artist in their own words:

I consider myself an iSurrealist. The beauty of iPhone work is that you can use the apps to just tweak colour, contrast and tone or find ways to combine a series of steps to achieve interesting transformations from the actual to the 'new' story or allegory. If you can live with a 5 mega pixel constraint, it affords you convenience, a myriad of artistic choices and a chance to experiment with a new medium. © DraMan

- This image is a combination of two shots taken at two different times. I keep all my images on my device so that I can refer back to them when I choose.

Blending them together with apps called 'Blender' and 'MontagePro' affords me decisions on positioning and contrast.

Having the iPhone handy, it wasn't much of a chore to stop the car and shoot a series of shots. I used a very precise app named 'Noir' to transform it into B/W.

Images and words used with kind permission from DraMan more of DraMan’s images can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/56444080@N00 Stand Alone - After a while one knows the apps one will use before the shot is executed.

Images and words used with kind permission from DraMan more of DraMan’s images can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/56444080@N00 Firebird - I enjoy the process of transforming an average shot of a pigeon into a sort of metaphoric story to peak the interest of my audience.

Images and words used with kind permission from DraMan more of DraMan’s images can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/56444080@N00 The Artist in her own words: I have chosen this calendar year to commit to a 365 day project with images from my iPhone. With this commitment I have chosen to only post each day one photo (at least) that I have taken that same calendar day. This has forced me to be constantly challenged to notice what is in my daily 'view' of life.

What I've come to experience with the 365 commitment is something I didn't expect. I have found some very real 'freedom' in the spontaneous nature of using my iPhone's camera to capture something right there in the 'moment'. Knowing often that I plan to use apps to change, modify or drastically alter the final image, I tend to shoot for experimentation rather than for traditional methods. It reminds me of the difference of driving a car (the DSLR) or a bicycle (the iPhone) - they both may use the same 'road' but the potential for the experience of getting from point A to point B along that road can be different.

We had both gone along to the RPS day in May 2011 that was held at Bradford, that meeting opened up a whole new journey for me.

The following 5 images are examples of what the iPhone can do not just in taking and processing purely within the phone but also the processing power it has when DSLR images are done through it.

I take the photo & then edit it in a photography app.

I have set myself a personal challenge of photographing something everyday and posting the results on Facebook and Instagram (social network site for iphoneographers).

I began this journey in May 2011 and find the iPhone is a convenient way to express myself instantly.

The following 5 slides are more recent images than the majority of the ones shown in the first part of the presentation as I wanted to show the path of discovery I have walked in 4 months.

Thank you to Danielle for introducing me to the Hipstamatic App and thank you to Bob for introducing me to ‘the art of iPhoneography’ book.

A Northern Tradition

Have fun and experiment

Gain inspiration from those who have gone before

Use the mobile phone to practice your photography skills or to record a scene you may return to with DSLR

Use any mobile phone camera and Apps if you have access to them,

You do not have to use App if you do not want to, straight shots are fine.

DO NOT use your computer to manipulate in any way – even crop or straighten.

Hand in by 24th October 2011 (for WCC Members only)

Over that last 140 or so slides you have seen the creative possibilities at your fingertips. There are more out there and many Apps have not been covered – so go explore be pioneers of a new genre in Photography.

Go out and experiment, learn from the both past and modern masters.

Most of all enjoy your photography and have fun.  Lightweight, inconspicuous and easy to use.

Fits in the Pocket.

Offers the ability to create images on the move, no need to download onto a desk top.

Offers a variety of different options to shoot whatever style is required.

Has a variety of different video/moving image capabilities.

Does not need expensive equipment or Software to create images.

Allows instant access to websites and uploading of images to photo or social networking sites almost instantly.

 Battery Life is very short – battery on the Move?

Lacks ability to alter ISO, Shutter or Aperture without Apps

Unable to capture the amount of detail a DSLR can. Although iPhone4 has a 5MP camera so quality is improving. I have printed up to A4 quite easily with my 3MP iPhone 3GS.

Can be difficult to see the touch screen in bright light. The ability to see the screen is paramount in the taking of the image as the screen is the viewfinder.

Does not have a designated wrist strap attachment for securing iPhone, there are some non Apple products though.

Shutter Lag and no flexibility of interchangeable lenses. These are some of the Apps I have used and do use on a regular basis. Some are chargeable and generally range between 69p to £1.49 for the iPhone. Often Apps are on special offer as free or half price, so try them out. There are a lot of free Apps out there as well.

For taking images (other than the standard camera) Hipstamatic, Retro Cam, Instagram, 100 cameras in 1 & Camera+

For processing Photogene, Iris suite, Photoforge2, TtV Studio Pro, iDarkroom, Swankolab
